COVID-19 Megathread 6: Return of the Omicron

[KaiserDave]

Any punishment by colleges for social gatherings is completely unacceptable, especially the threat of expulsion. It is their faults, not the students' faults.

I agree in large part. They shouldn't have opened like this to begin with. This was an inevitable consequence.

I just don't agree that any punishment is unacceptable

Dang sorry Badger that's awful.

New York has gotten worse recently. Not at all similar to March, but it's gone up above 3% positivity and above 1,000 cases a day (well it was for one day).

Cuomo is a horrible Governor.

How did this dude get an emmy for his handling of COVID? Cuomo should resign as gov.

It's a disgrace. An absolute disgrace. And writing a book when the pandemic wasn't close to over?
An egomaniac of the highest degree. If he had any self awareness he'd resign.

Wow. I think this is the kind of thing that could give the right Republican an opening.

Nope. Most people still think Cuomo is a good COVID governor and even if they didn’t he’d win.

Thank you for changing the nonsensical thread title, now go back to the usual back and forth. So happy I avoid this thread.

[KaiserDave]

Note that one can still test positive for COVID while vaccinated. Their lives or health are not in any serious risk.

Anti Vaxxers polluting this thread with garbage

When do you plan to stop wearing a mask and socially distancing?

Social distancing was my life even before the pandemic began, as I’m naturally an introvert and hate being around large groups of people. I probably do have some sort of social anxiety disorder, but I've learned to live with it. It's one of the many reasons why I work nights as well (limited interactions with people).

I’ll stop wearing a mask when we have this thing under control. I really don’t understand what is so offensive to some of the blue avatars on here about wearing a mask when you go out. You’re protecting yourself by doing so, and isn’t that the only thing righties care about (themselves)? Well, that and money, “but I digress.”

You know if COVID only affected fetuses, the same snowflakes triggered by mask mandates would be doing everything in their power to regulate the zygotes. "My body, my choice."

Would you be following every order if it was Red Team telling you to do so?

Same Red Team whose maniacal messiah suggested injecting ourselves with bleach to “disinfect” the virus? Same Red Team whose propagandists on Faux Noise pushed hydroxychloroquine as a treatment? Same Red Team who to this day still espouses the Big Lie? Same Red Team who’s trying to whitewash the January 6 insurrection as a “tour” of “peaceful” something something Antifa? Yeah, I think I’m good with not doing anything that Red Team orders. (Unless you mean Atlas Red Team… )

40% of this post is bilge, and 40% is just objectively false information

I think they're coming, I'm just not sure we need to do them. Hopefully they're just precautionary & temporary.

Ha!

[KaiserDave]

We need normalcy now!

We have had normalcy for several months!

What is normalcy to you?

[KaiserDave]

Terrible, terrible
